"Original thread"
Hello everyone,
Well, back again with the problem that can't find any solution anywhere.
I've opened a thread about fake imei on this site earlier which can find a solution already. Now the imei and the S/N become original one but the phone still can't make any call. I found the thread about a patch that can fix this issue but it works with NOTE2 and S3 only... so, I'm afraid to try that with my S4 GT-I9500 since it's very hard to find a fix for its problem... I don't want another problem for my phone now...
So, the status of the phone is unlock, root, on latest stock firmware(I9500XXUBMG1), Baseband is I9500DXUBMF8,
Software status on phone: Network=Unknown, Mobile Network Type=Edge:2, Service State=Out of service...
When I check with AndroidDump the Telephony said:
IMEI=(my original IMEI)
CallState=IDLE
DataActivity=NONE
DataState=DISCONNECTED
NetworkType=EDGE
PhoneType=GSM
SimState=READY
CellLocation=[16427,50572,-1]
DeviceSoftwareVersion=01
Line1Number= (it's blank)
NetworkCountryIso=th
NetworkOperator=52018
NetworkOperatorName= (it's blank...again)
SimCountryIso=th
SimOperator=52018
SimSerialNumber= (my sim serial number)
SubscriberId=52018961057xxxx (this is my IMSI)
VoiceMailAlphaTag=VOICEMAIL
VoiceMailNumber=1802 (this is the voice mail number of my sim operator)
Now, let's go back a bit for earlier problem of my phone...
It's been stuck on Samsung logo(bootloop) because of EFS folder corrupted(Error mount efs)
Solution: I forced the efs to mount by enter the command in Terminal Emulator on Recovery mode, then the phone reboot normally with wifi connect but fake Imei(004999xxxxxxx) and S/N 00000000000. So, I can't make any call since then but can connect wifi.
After that with the fake Imei and S/N all zero I've finally found a mobile repair shop that can write the original Imei and S/N for me with the SPT Box. So, my phone has the original Imei and S/N now but when I try to make call it said "Not registered on network"
If I choose the network manually(My operator is DTAC) it will be Network(DTAC)unavailable... If set to choose automatically, it looks fine but when I attempt to call it said "Not registered on network" again...
The phone still can connect to WiFi, as usual... but can't make call...like before fix the Imei and S/N
Contacted the operator of my sim already and they said it seems to be the problem of the phone so, I have to contact Samsung... but my phone has no service with Samsung coz it's the phone from another country and it's been root already...
I've tried every way I can(found on this site and other site...) None work...
So... anyone has any idea why my phone can't make any call???... and HOW EXACTLY TO FIX IT???
Thank you again for you time and help...

I have the same issue. Anyone help.
I have checked the IMEI was clear.
i dont know if this helps but i had the same problem ....the exact same problem you are having ,only its that i was having it on the note 2 , also i didnt have the warranty cause of the same reason as yours,so eventually i fixed it after 4 month ,
i first installed the miui rom, then flashed the dmg1 modem on my phone and used the ariza patc, i think it has to be done in the same order cause i had done all three of those before but to no result.maybe you can try this...

This is why you should always back up your EFS folder. If your IMEI ever gets lost you can restore using the EFS backup folder very easily.

You were ABSOLUTELY right. I had done NOTHING wrong, my IMEI had been blacklisted by a weird mistake of a mobile company.
I'll explain my jourey, in the hopes that it can help somebody, since, I HAVE A SOLUTION for every single case of this issue.
1) When I got my gt-i9500, of course I rooted it, then i proceeed to flash PAC-ROM on it, but I had to go back to Stock (Arrow Modified Version) since PAC-ROM is FULL of glitches ans bugs.
2) After a week of being using ARROW, i got the "NOT REGISTERED ON NETWORK" problem. Not instantly, no, AFTER A WEEK OF USING AS MY DEFAULT ROM. I got really scared, since I DIDN'T MAKE A BACKUP OF MY EFS FOLDER, and when I review my IMEI, it wasn't even the 00049... generic one, it was null/null. So i shat my pants, thinking I had ruined my S4 for good. But I started reading. First i had to get my IMEI back to its original form, and then work around the network issue (THAT'S THE ORDER, ACTUALLY)
3) So I downloaded a whole bunch of modems and tried one after one, with no success, some of them put the generic IMEI on my phone, some of them got my IMEI back to null/null. I was worried and drinking industrial quantities of wine at this point. So i went for the obvious but way more boring solution. I TRIED FLASHING STOCK ROMS on my S4. I live in Perú, so I only have 2 choices to do this, and actually my carrier stock rom is not even listed on SamMobile.com (I'm on Nextel Peruvian 3G network). The 2 choices i tried, neither got my signal or my IMEI BACK. I started going desperate, but keept on reading.
4) Tried the MTK Droid Tools to recover my IMEI. I had never even used The ADB android interface before, but learned rather quickly. Got my S4 connected, shell rooted, and still couldn't change my IMEI; since MTK Droid Tools (and please trust me on this one) ONLY WORKS FOR THE CHINESSE/KOREAN VERSIONS OF THE S4. So don't even bother, you might learn ALOT about the android ADB interface, but won't fix your IMEI.
5) Finally I started downloading a bunch of Stock roms in order to get my IMEI fixed automaticaly by flashing them through ODIN. And the I stumble upon THIS ROM: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=17396 WHICH SEEMED like a divine answer from heaven since, just by flashing it, got me back my ORIGINAL IMEI.
6) At this point i had discovered that INDEED the MODEM: I9500UBUBMG9 does get your IMEI back to its original state. (That's your answer). SO, I was in a Stock rom, with my original IMEI, bu had NO FREAKING SIGNAL WHAT SO EVER. STILL HAD THE "Not registered on network" FREAKING problem. So I, finally, gave up, came here, and got the answer that It might had to do with my IMEI being blacklisted. I refused to believe so, since there are this stories on the internet, that you can actually screw your EFS folder by installing a custom AOKP rom without backing it up, and that there's this "RF CAL" file that only samsung knows how to fix and once it's corrupted, you won't be able to connect to any network, ever. BUT HERE'S THE THING, THAT story IS A LIE.
7) I went to NEXTEL (My carrrier) support (They sold me the phone) today, and YES, OMG YES, my IMEI had been blacklisted, AND HERE'S THE CATCH: ANYONE (At least that can happen in my country) ANYONE, can call your mobile operator, reporting your phone has been stolen, and the op will block NOT ONLY YOUR NUMBER, but your freakining IMEI, blacklisting it, and making it IMPOSIBLE for you to get connected on ANY network.
SO Here is my conclussion to this WEIRD case:
1) If you have the NOT REGISTERED ON NETWORK and you have the WRONG IMEI issue (Meaning, your IMEI is the generic: 00049... or Null/Null) , flash via ODIN, THIS STOCK ROM: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=17396, just... flash it, I DON'T CARE IF YOU'VE READ THAT YOU JUST NEED THE MODEM, I garantee that if you flash this stock rom, your IMEI will go back to its original state.
2) If your S4 is on an Stock Rom, and you have your original IMEI; and you still can't connect to your network, It means your original imei has been blacklisted, and you NEED to talk to sammy or your carrier to fix this, or contact someone who can undo this situation.
That's it. I hope that my journey helps someone that is trying to get this "NOT REGISTERED ON NETWORK" issue solved, as I've been trying to for the entire weekend. Just... don't give up. http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/good.gif

it's so amazing that the mobile company staff have so much power, isn't it? I thought the report process should be a bit more formal, with a note from the policeman or something. Otherwise it's so easy to get fxxked up for doing nothing...

Hi,
I Have a galaxy i9506 (orange france android 4.3),
Phone was unlocked now but I have no network on 2G , 3G finds network just fine.
Any way to fix this? Can I rewrite modem file and then try to unlock with *#0011# method?
If this is posible can someone direct me to a good modem file?
Thank you.
If i write modem is posible to unlock by nck code i supose. I realy need 2g network.
How can I bring the phone to it's original state (locked orange france) so I can the use a NCK code to unlock it?
Flash the france orange firmware from sammobile's firmware database. Instructions are on the same page as the download. I can't link, sorry.
I did that , It kept all my programs and settings intact , root was left intact too. I used odin 3.09 . so nothing happedend after flashing original firmware from sammobile.
Complete Refresh

If you have rooted than its very good, wipe everything from recovery and flash complete firmware from odin. Its impossible that root is there, because system,kernel and recovery partitions are overwritten. However su binary app will be there but will not work because data partition remains intact.
Now back to your original problem, i don't know how you unlocked your phone? I am afraid phone's efs is not corrupted, because if everything is good means imei and modem and when phone try to register on network of locked phone then it simply ask code. Check imei, modem and network status, if your phone is registered on network and showing carrier name?
Backup efs partition before playing more because if efs is corrupted than you are finished ! I9506 is qualcomm version so QPST tool can also help in modem related issue, press thanks if it helps
Indeed after reflash i lost root. But the phone is still unlocked and no 2g signal. How can i relock it? The phone was unlocked with direct unlock option from some unlock software... dunno witch one(I bought it already unlocked and rooted )
I searched some gsm forums and found something that is said to work for I9506 too:
SPT BOX forum :
4.4.2 kitkat net probleme after supper imei unlock
connect your N9005 to the Box using USB in ( dm+modem+adb ) mode by dialing *#0808# in Samsung's Dialer ..
1st - Choose N900w8 from the list then click Repair 3G Network this will Fix the 2G network
2 - choose N9005 again and press repair 3G network again this will Fix the 3G network with 2G working too
Unfortunately I don't think anyone in my city has SPT BOX ( .... i will search some gsm services
Identify cause

I told u some points, please follow it and find out what is the root cause of your problem then try to ask or fix. You can use qualcomm nv tools and qpst for imei but first find out what is the cause then ask for help.
EFS professional also has nv tools and other fixes, use this download link

Hi , thank U for the info. I must now learn how to use the program to rebuild NV of the phone ( atleast i think that i must do) . never had to do such fixes of any phone. The i9506 was unlocked by direct unlock in z3x box. After that no more 2g connectivity , the phone finds network if I manualy search but cannot connect to it. Sais emergency calls only.
Anyway I think your sugestion will fix my problem .... just have to learn how to use program
Thanks again.
I rooted phone , backed up all that I could find to backup in EFS Professional 2.1.73 and after that I tried option "repair NV Data file permisions" "Option to repair NV data file ownership to fix 'Unknown baseband' and 'No signal' issues." .... then big dissapointment .... popup "This option cannot be used with your device! " . Damn I was realy hopeing that the option will repair my 2G signal problem. Seems that I must find another solution .... maybe some other sugestions?
Thank you.
When u run efs professional u have 4 options, try 2nd option 'Qualcomm nv tools' . Check information on diagnostic tab and if u see any thing wrong try secure ops tab for ESN / MEID / IMEI repair, also first check that your phone is showing correct IMEI by *#06# which is on behind the battery.

The phone is showing corect imei. I browsed through tabs , backed-up nvdata(took more than 30 min).I will look at diagnostics tab to see if anything shows "RED" .
Thank U.
I made some screenshots with the info shown in NV TOOLS . I don't know what to look for to see is not ok.
Plz post snaps of lockscreen, imei check window (*#06#) and phone about device. also tell me which firmware u have?
Screenshots , Firmware is Official 4.3 Orange France from Sammobile
From snaps, it seems your phone is registered on network and modem is working fine that's why showing correct IMEI. Normally when your phone is not registered on network, shows emergency call and null IMEI then you are unable to call or sms but i can't understand your case. If you are not able to call or sms then try changing different carrier sim or upgarde to latest kitkat 4.4.2, follow this link

P.S. At last post snap of complete status window(in two snaps) from about device.

At last i can say your phone efs is corrupt, try manually writing IMEI again from Qualcomm nv tools and flashing kitkat 4.4.2. If don't work then samsung tool (Z3X) or other hardware box can fix efs like u unlock from Z3X box.
This is free tool which offer imei repair, ChimeraTool

Guys please help me out...
i got very big problem: i bought phone from hands , with warranty etc. everything were awesome, till i flashed lolipop. when i started to using it , it showed up problems with network, in my city very often i get not signal, and cant registre to network, try again later. I asked in ROM treads noone answered me [its not rom problem i guess]. about 5 days i checked solutions none of roms helped.
i changed sim card, i tought it could be faulty- no
i changed phone number i thought it is faulty- no
i changed carrier , YES it worked, but 3 days later, im registred in network, but signal is very changing, and today i cant register in network[in the same room]
i checked imei *#06# and there were big problem, imei wasnt like on note 3 box , and backcover, it is like 14950000168.... /01 , and i cant find solution, how to get this imei back. i checked with root broswer, efs folder- there is no file .nv_data , or anything that starts with.nv. i checked *#0011#, IMEI BYPASS : PASS from carrier side.
i dont have any backups, nothing. im so afraid that this 300eur phone is only wifi device.:crying:
is there any wait to get back this imei :S ?
guaranteed compensation , if suggested method will work. [PP]
like approvment i can send images of note 3 box/warranty check that its my property, thats not stolen device.
I tryed very much options. If needed some kind of detailed info. just say, ill get it.
hope for good advice.
sry for my english.
Faithfully, Berils.
any idea guys? suggestions?
bump :S
Buddy, I am not sure if I understood you very well.
But you can try to go settings - connections - more networks - mobile networks. Then change the Network name from WCDMA/GSM to WCDMA only.
I have done that & it has worked for me. I have done few more things that helped me to resolve the issue. Please let me know if you need any help.

the biggest problem is that, that i have knox 0x1 , and i got no imei. i readed my carrier warranty rules: IF IMEI is deleted or changed the will not repair.
fck.... im so exhausted of finding solutions.
ill try to set up lolipop again, and i hope now it will reset all partitions, and will create nv.data file, and other imei stufff.... finger cross.
stay up tune. will report.
